The triumvirate created by master vampire Jean-Claude, necromancer Anita
Blake, and werewolf Richard Zeeman has made Jean-Claude one of the most
powerful vampires in the US. He's consolidating power in himself and
those loyal to him, doing in America what Belle Morte did in Europe when
she was at her height of power. She almost owned Europe, and there was
those who are determined that Jean-Claude won't do the same in America.
Jean-Claude's motives may be kinder, but as any lawyer will tell you:
motives matter, but you're just as dead. Assassins are coming to St.
Louis to kill them all. Anita knows they're coming, but even being
forewarned doesn't mean you can win.

Listener Opinions

by Stephanie | 2/19/2014

" It was soo good!! Couldn't put it down!! And it was nice to read that Richard was behaving. (for now) "

by Cat | 2/5/2014

" I would have to give this book 3 1/2 stars it was better than some of tha other books in this series and I am waiting to see how things play out in the next book. There was growth in some of the old characters and and the death to someone who had to go in my opinion really needed to go. While there was the same old anita who has to have everything explained to her and Asher who is mad and whinning because he does not get his way. There is some resolution to some of it and some new characters introduced. The sex in this book was upped to a hole new level but as always the power struggle continues. "

by Valerie | 2/4/2014

" This was the best of these I've read in a long time. I felt like it had a good balance to it. "

" This series should have wrapped up and been over a few books ago. They just keep getting worse. AND I am quite upset that I paid $13.99 for an e"book" that was really a novella. Don't waste your money on this book! "

Jamie (Alphas Authors Books Oh My) | 1/26/2014

" I love this series. Everyone either loves them or hates them because of all the sex in them now and I am one that loves them even more. IMO Anita is one LUCKY girl..lol ;) "

Jessica `~Blahyze~` | 1/25/2014

" I could never not love an Anita Blake novel. Though Bullet just seems to being playing the same old story, Asher's man-love issues. It was good, but it wasn't great. "

Beth F. | 1/20/2014

" I've never been so bored reading about dirty, filthy sex. "

Cherry | 12/25/2013

" Simply put, not my cup of tea. May be an excellent book for those that are reading simply for sexual pleasure. The story line, simple,sexual domination. "

Christiane | 11/26/2013

" Sexiest novel yet! "

Clacie | 11/6/2013

" Liked it well enough. "

Richele | 10/26/2013

" Anita Blake with enough balance of story and bedroom stuff. This is how I like my LKH "

Ali | 9/21/2013

" I felt this one never really got off the ground, and the ending was very rushed and tried to just throw things together to wrap up the story, almost like there was a max page limit and the author needed to end it before she hit it. "

Raven | 7/6/2013

" Don't like how it's getting more about sex than anything else. What happened to all the adventure and executions? "

Tashie | 4/1/2013

" Smutty good fun. Actually I liked this one better than her last one... "

Tasneem | 3/1/2013

" I love Anita Blake books and this one really was interesting. Yes there is a lot of sex, but the story keeps getting more and more complicated. I like that Anita is working through her issues, and its nice to finally see Richard doing his part in the triumvirate. "

Margotreynolds | 10/22/2012

" I have good feeling about story. Worth reading "

Diana | 9/25/2012

" Eh. I still enjoy the series, and this books she tries to bring it back from just crazy sex to something of a plot. I don't think I'm going to buy them any more though. Just borrow. "

Michelle Grant | 1/14/2012

" I am sad to say that I think I am done. Don't waste your time, plot was very limited, characters were unbelievable and flat, and you can find better porn on the net for free. Ms. Hamilton, you can do better than this. "

Mollie Trail | 8/18/2011

" Not enough Nicky, and a little too much emotional talk but Asher's humor and Richard not being an ass makes up for a lot of it. "

Kimberly | 5/23/2011

" I had 18 pages left to read and I decided to just return it to the library....that should tell you all you need to know about this book.
"

Deidre | 5/13/2011

" this is actually a re-reading for me.
"

Megan | 4/26/2011

" this book makes me a bit hopeful for the next one
"

Arshad | 4/25/2011

" Vampires, shapeshifters, supernatural politics, and gratuitous porn as Anita Blake struts her stuff once again. Par for the course in Laurell K. Hamilton's series of late.
"

Traci | 3/31/2011

" Excellent addition to the series. My favorite that Hamilton has put out in a while.
"

Hanneke | 3/25/2011

" It was almost as bad as I feared. Lots of sex, more sex, endless descriptions of eyes, hair, skin and clothes, no storyline whatsoever. Every once in a while the old Anita popped up, but even the creamy goodness of her boobs could not save this book.
"

Annie | 3/24/2011

" Completely over the erotica - I won't continue reading any more of her books after this.
"

Yasmin | 3/23/2011

" Picked up the library because the cover is attractive...returned to the library because it is the the worst book I've ever opened. Utter trash, badly written porn, a waste of trees. How did it ever get published?
